Now that we are no longer dependent upon you for grades and favors, we can unburden ourselves of many things which, coming at any other time, would cause us to be numbered among that most despised and miserable clan, The Jerkersf' All that a Terrill boy holds cursed, all that he feels he can afford to look down upon, be he himself ever so lowly, is summed up in that one worcl, jerker. The jerker- branding habit started out to be reasonable, but has come to be anything but that. It started out to abolish an existent evil and the rebound of it has caused a greater and more noxious evil to take root in its stead. Thus much by way of showing our position. What we want to say here is that, relieved for once of the scorn of two hundred boys, we wish to doff our respective hats to you and tell you what good folks you are. In many in- stances you're not only good folks, but you're good fellows as well- therein proclaiming your independence of the old pedagogical notion that a teacher is merely a taskmaster, a being aloof, whose dignity would totter to its fall at the slightest unbending. We want you to know that we ap- preciate you and your efforts for us during this and past years, to assure you of our respect, to promise that we shall have pleasant remembrances of you in years to come, and to hope for you the best of good fortune in whatever you undertake. Cheap enough, all this, as words, but valuable when those words are meant as we mean them. 26 65 mag Egg

U Q E-'Q 15115 QEE 1 Give All Dates From- NE of the best instructors and one of the most popular teach- ers ever in the Terrill School was lost when Mr. Hirt was forced to retire from school work last fall because of illness. Mr. l-lirt was head of the Department of History. His use of an outline in connection with the study of history made it more simple and clear. He had a knack of, impressing even the smallest details upon one's mind, and a year of history with Mr. I-lirt was a year of knowledge of the history studied. l-le was broad-minded, good. natured, and fair. He had the respect and admiration of every boy as well as of all the teachers. He had been in the school a number of years and during this time had won a place in the hearts of all who knew him. There may be better instructors than he fwhich we doubtj, but there is only one Mr. I-lirt. l-le left the school in bad health. We hope to see him back next year as strong as Hercules, as healthy and robust as a prize fighter. S. S. EQ UI M 25
